Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.

Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.

I always want to give more than I gave yesterday.

I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.

What's really heavy on my heart is fighting physical inactivity.

There was a race that I was running in Mexico City and I was the only high school athlete running against grown women. It was a professional race, but I ended up winning. That was kind of a turning point for me where I felt like, "Okay, I'm pretty good at this and there's a possibility for this to be a career for me." That was a defining moment for me.

For me, there's a lot of expectations and you want to be able to live up to them.
